Chapter 115: The Lotus Lamp
Walking into the narrow cave and through a short passage, the boy soon came to a rocky cave that was not too big. In the center of the cave is a pool of crystal clear spring water, on which are floating lotus flowers in full bloom, and small golden fish swim in the water.
The small fish was covered in golden scales, emitting a warm golden light, which should have come from the golden light seen at the entrance of the cave before.
In this fiery underworld, can there be spring water gushing out? The young man moved his steps carefully, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he came to the edge of the pool and squatted down, curiously observing the small fish.
The little fish shuttled freely and happily between the lotus leaves, as if they were not very intelligent, and looked very peaceful, without any danger. A pebble was thrown, and a ripple rippled on the calm water, and the fish scattered and quickly gathered.
I wonder what this little golden fish tastes like?
Grunt!
At this time, the boy's stomach was barking again!
"Hold on, hold on!" the young man blushed, looked at the little fat fish, licked his mouth and swallowed his saliva, and simply turned his head away, no longer looking into the pool. Standing up, he began to look around the cave and beyond the pool.
In addition to this pool of spring water, there is only a stone bed and a stone platform, which seems to be the place where the ancestor of the undead race rests or cultivates. On top of the stone platform was a black lotus lamp, which looked like it had been extinguished for a long time.
"But do you need an oil lamp to illuminate such a bright stone cave?" the young man felt that the lotus lamp seemed a little out of harmony here, and stepped forward. I picked up the lamp and wiped it down, and looked closely.
Suddenly, the wick that had been extinguished for a long time ignited again, and the entire lotus lamp broke away from the young man's hands and floated in mid-air, emitting colorful light.
The boy's body became extremely heavy with the appearance of the flames, as if he was carrying two mountains on his shoulders, and he was lying on the ground at once, unable to move. The bones around his body crackled as if they were about to break at any moment. Heart-wrenching.
This feeling. It's like entering the Oriental Heavenly Pillar for the first time, the cultivation house in the center of the floating island!
Thinking of this, the young man hurriedly gritted his teeth and set the five rounds of karmic fire into operation under the dantian. Sure enough, I felt that the weight on my body had weakened. But still unable to stand up.
"What kind of treasure is this lotus lamp? Can you actually ignite a five-color karmic fire?" the young man raised his head with difficulty and glanced at the Baolian lantern, then pressed his face to the ground, gasping for breath.
It can be seen from the special pupils of the teenager. That golden flame is actually a five-colored karmic fire, in fact, it seems that the whole lamp is emitting the light of karmic fire!
This small five-colored karmic fire is much more crystal clear and pure than the five-colored flame that he has merged under his hard training, and there is no boundary between the five karmic fires, and it is completely harmonious. Although it looks like it is blown away, it releases holiness and inviolable majesty.
I don't know how many times the pressure brought by this five-colored karmic fire is greater than the three multicolored spars on the heavenly pillar, because the young man has already overcome the pressure in the cultivation house and successfully obtained the spar, and his arms are shocked, not to mention the huge strength of millions of catties, but he is treated here obediently.
On the other hand, if it weren't for the fact that he had five rounds of karmic fire and didn't have the foundation of cultivation on the Heavenly Pillar, maybe he would have been crushed into flesh the moment that divine fire was launched, where would there be room to lie here and think?
"Could it be that this is the five-colored lotus lantern left by the ancestor of the immortal race, Yu Xi!" The young man suddenly thought of some anecdotes about the Tower of Babel that he had heard Tong Xuan talk about before, and according to legend, the Bao Lotus Lantern was related to the inheritance of the great god Yu Xi, and he couldn't help but be happy and surprised in his heart.
Happily, as the holder of the five rounds of karmic fire in this life, what he needs most is such a inheritance. Because of the different nature of karmic fire, even Zhang Lao could not explain the function of the five rounds of karmic fire to him in detail, and everything could only be explored by himself.
Shockingly, now that I am trapped here, I can't move an inch, and I am afraid that I will miss the time to enter the altar. Because when he was first shrouded in the light of the multicolored hedrons, it took a whole day to take a small step. As things stand, it seems impossible to walk to the cave with the remaining time.
The five-colored divine fire burned away the stains on the exterior of the lotus lantern, revealing the holy white stone lampholder and the finely carved lotus lamp, a small flame dancing in the lamp, emitting warm and colorful light.
In the glittering cave, a lotus lamp is suspended in the air, and a young man lies quietly on the edge of a stone platform not far from the pool. Time passed minute by minute, and the boy was unable to stand up despite several efforts.
Licked his dry lips and had been lying like this for most of the day. Due to the continuous operation of the five rounds of karmic fire, countless sticky stains in his body were squeezed out of his body with sweat, making him severely dehydrated. If you continue like this, if you don't get crushed, you will die because of too much water.
"I can't stay here now!" the boy's voice became hoarse, and he moved towards the pool with all his might, trying to drink some water and replenish his strength.
After most of the day, the boy was able to stick to the ground and move his body slightly. Trying to dig his fingers into the cracks in the stone on the ground and drag his body forward, the young man's hands were stained with blood, and his ten fingers were connected to his heart, and the pain made him convulse continuously.
However, the boy did not give up because of this, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would try. After two hours of hard work, he finally moved two steps on his stomach and came to the edge of the pool overgrown with lotus flowers.
Bloodstained hands trembling at the edge of the pool, the boy gritted his teeth and pulled hard, bringing his head to the edge of the pool. Helplessly, the water surface was actually a few inches lower than the edge of the pool, and no matter how much the boy stretched his neck and tongue, he couldn't reach it.
"Rub, I don't believe it!" the young man was annoyed in his heart, and with a hard kick of his feet, his whole body moved forward a few inches further.
But just as the boy was smiling and about to take a sip of water, he felt his body loosen, and a rock by the pool cracked because it couldn't bear the weight of the boy's entire body!
Thump!
The boy fell into the pond with the rock and fell to the bottom of the pond as quickly as a scale!
"It's over!" the boy thought for the first time. I can't move now, and I can't breathe in the water, so why do I have to drown here!?
Originally, with the help of the power of the bloodline of the snake, the boy could avoid the waterway, but unfortunately, now the bloodline power of the alien beast was sealed by Zhang Lao and could not be urged. Now that there are no other companions around, this time it is really a dead end!
The boy held his breath, feeling his chest getting tighter and tighter, the water surface getting farther and farther away from him, and his consciousness began to blur.
The little golden fish in the pool was very curious about the boy who suddenly fell. They swam over and bit the boy's hands and feet. The boy felt an itch, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth and drink a few sips of water!
The pool water was cold and poured through the boy's mouth and nose, causing his head to shake. There was complete darkness in front of me.
It's in a blur. The boy seemed to see a graceful light and shadow appear in front of him. I said something in my ear, and then I felt my muscles relax, and I took a deep breath of rich aura. It's warm all around.
Suddenly opening his eyes, the boy found that he was still at the bottom of the pool, with groups of small golden fish circling around him. The light from the small fish illuminates the world realm at the bottom of the pool, which is extremely clean, scattered with various colored crystals, and there is no soil.
The strange thing is that there is no spring at the bottom of the pond as imagined by the boy, and those lotus flowers are not rooted at the bottom of the pool, the whole pool seems to be condensed by spiritual energy, which can be breathed freely, and the body feels much more relaxed here.
The young man didn't want to waste time, so he quickly sat up on the water floor, closed his eyes and meditated, and gradually entered the most basic state of qi gathering, feeling the cool aura liquid being sucked into the dantian through the pores around his body.
At the same time, the karmic fire under the dantian seemed to become more refined and vigorous as the physical condition changed, like a five-colored lotus flower constantly running. The surface of the boy's body was constantly draining stains, and the pool water washed it away, and the skin became more and more crystal clear.
"Come back after reaching the peak of the Divine Gate Realm!"
The boy suddenly remembered what the graceful woman in the light and shadow had said to him, and opened his eyes suddenly, realizing that there was not much time left until the temple altar opened.
Swimming quickly to the shore without thinking, the boy was pleasantly surprised to find that under the pressure of the Baolian lamp, he was able to stand up, although his body was still heavy, but he could move slowly and evenly towards the entrance of the cave.
When he came to the entrance of the cave, the boy finally breathed a sigh of relief. Turning around, he solemnly saluted the lotus lantern, and then strode out of the cave. There was a flash of light in front of him, and the boy found himself back at the door of the room where the miscellaneous items were displayed.
What happened on this day was like a dream!
Walking and running, the young man felt that his strength had increased a lot, his body was as light as a swallow, and he could step more than ten feet in one step. At this time, he did not intend to return to his residence, but rushed directly to the central altar of the temple of Yuxi.
Since the three days had passed, it was logical that he should have waited at the door of the altar and entered it within the time limit. If you miss this time, you will have to wait a year before you can open it again after bathing.
Although he is young, he doesn't have that much time to stay here, and a lot can happen in a year, and the boy is racing against time to solve the problem of his own Yuan Force as soon as possible.
Turning around several tall and majestic corridors, the young man finally saw a disc-shaped enclosed metal building in the center of a hundred-zhang high hall, surrounded by many intricate patterns and runes.
In the boy's mind, it was revealed that this building was the central altar of the temple of Yuxi. The disc-shaped building was flickering with all kinds of light at this moment, and it looked extremely gorgeous, and a buzzing sound resounded through the main hall, as if it was resonating with the inheritance sigil in the boy's body.
The young man quickly swept into the main hall, and when he looked up, he found that there was a light door in the central part of the disc building that had already been opened, and it was slowly closing!
"Damn it!"
The young man rushed over desperately, increasing his speed to his limit, only to see that in the main hall, a black line crossed and slammed into the light gate that had closed most of it!
Rumble!
The door of light closed completely, and a white mist rose from the entire disc-shaped altar building, enveloping the main hall so that it was impossible to see the situation inside.
Everything was calm again.
